Two helicopters crashed in the same area of the American city of Hammonton

Two helicopters crashed in the same area of Hammonton, New Jersey. This became known on December 28 from the press service of the state fire forces.

"Two helicopters crashed in or near the same location. It is reported that one of the helicopters is completely engulfed in fire, and the second crashed in a wooded area, which made access and search operations difficult for rescuers," the ministry said.

Firefighters, ambulance personnel and law enforcement agencies are at the scene. Officials have confirmed that at least one victim has been located and is being actively recovered from the rubble.

Crews are continuing a systematic search of the surrounding area to determine if there are other people or injured.
